THE COMMITTEE ON RULES.
Speaker Carlisle Announces the Mem
berS of 1t.

D6TS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-Speaker Carlisle
announced the Committee on Rules to-day,
as follows: the Speaker, Messrs. Mills, Ran
dali, Reed and Cannon. In so doing, he an
nounced that Mr.. Mills would be the chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee
and Mr. Randall Chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations.
These appointments are not satisfactory
to the majority of the Democrats, but they
all agree that the Speaker did what he
sincerely thought most expedient. The
Speaker, now that he has these chairman
ships filled, will go right on and appoint the
rest of the members of the Committee on
WAYS and Means and the Committee on
Appropriations, announcing them probably
on Wednesday, certainly before the ad-
journmept for the holiday recess. The other
committees can wait.
Tomorrow the Committee on Rules is
expected to report the rules of the last
House, so that it may be ready for work,
postponing the consideration of the two or
three dozen proposed amendments to the
rules until the holiday recess. Should this
be done, it would greatly facilitate the Sc
lection of the committees. 1t seems to be
generally expected that Messrs. Turner of
Georgia, Morse Of Massachusetts, and Gay
of Louisiana, will have places ON the Ways
and Means Committee.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A WIFE, MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
SLAIN.

The Murderer Then Puts an End to
His Own Life-A Quarrel over Money
Control Alleged to Have Been the
Cause of the Horrible Crime.
Troy, N. Y, Dec. 19.-S. S. Crsndell.
formerly lawyer and real estate broker in
Troy, to-day shot his wife, his mother-in-
law, Mrs. S. S. Stone, his stepdaughter.
Julia Bulkley, and himself, at their home
in Ballston Spa. All are dead, The party
had controversy over money matters. His
wife was the divorced wife of Crandell's
former legal associate. Mr.. Crandell was
once candidate for Sheriff in Washington
county, and was defeated. He was extrava-
CANT in his habits. His wife had money,
and the quarrel arose over its control.
The place known as "Colbaker place" was
bought by Mrs. Stone about year ago.
Her family consisted of Mrs Stone, her
sister, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs Crandell, her daugh-
ter by former marriage and her son-in-
law, Crandell. Mrs. Stone was about 62
years old. Her husband died several years
ago, leaving a large property. Her daugh-
Ter refused to accept any property while
her mother was alive. The daughter,
Julia V. Crandell, was thirty-seven years
old. IL is said that Crandell represented
himself to be wealthy and worth $4,000,
and finally married Mrs Bulkley. Their
married life had been unhappy The fam
lily, except Mrs. Ellis, were at the table eat
ing breakfast when Crandell began shoot
ing. The ladies ran from the table to the
kitchen, and he ran after them, firing across
the room. His spite seemed to be against
Mrs. Stone. He fired promiscously among
the others at Mrs. Stone Mr. Stone ran
out of the door in the snow some rods from
the house. He went to the door and shot at
her She fellsexhausted in the snow, and
died soon after with bullet in her breast.
Crandell then turned about, loaded his re-
volver, and, at short range, fired at his step
daughter, Julia. The shot took effect near
the navel. 1t was fired so close that white
apron she wore was burned
by the powder. Mrs Crandell received
two wounds in the groin. Crandell then
ran from the room and was not seen again
until the dead body was found found in the
cupola of the house. Mrs. Ellis at once
raised the alarm, and people soon came.
1t was to late to be of any assistance. OH
GERS were placed in charge of the house and
no one outside was admitted. The Coroner
was notified. When the reporter left the
house Mrs. Crandell was very low, and no
attempt to probe her wounds had been
made.
